Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 cups converted white rice
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Kosher salt
1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu
2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green), thinly sliced
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
2 scallions, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery; cook, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the rice and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium high; stir in 2 cups water and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low; cover and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover and set aside.
  • Wrap the tofu in paper towels and set on a plate. Weigh down with a bowl; let drain 10 minutes. Cut in half lengthwise, then slice 1/2 inch thick.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, the bell peppers, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the peppers start browning, 4 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the tofu to the skillet in a single layer. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Stir in the bell peppers, barbecue sauce and scallions. Stir the parsley into the rice; top with the tofu.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The tofu was perfectly marinated and grilled, and the Cajun rice was flavorful and fluffy. Will definitely be making this again soon!

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The tofu was well-cooked and the Cajun rice was flavorful. I'll try it again with less cayenne pepper next time.

The tofu was a bit dry, but the Cajun rice was flavorful. I think I'll try marinating the tofu for longer next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the marinade and Cajun rice, and it was much better.

I love how versatile this recipe is! I used tempeh instead of tofu and it turned out just as good. The Cajun rice was also a great side dish.
